Short Course on
Principles and Applications of Time-Resolved
Fluorescence
The staff of
the CFS offers an annual week-long course since 1992.
The
CFS course continues to be popular among the research
community. The course is comprised of an extensive series of
lectures presented over a five day period.
Lectures are presented from
morning to mid-afternoon, after which there are
hands-on-experiments for the attendees to perform. These
experiments range from simple steady-state measurements to
more complex time-domain and frequency-domain measurements.
Each year a number of companies attend and bring in
instruments for the hands-on experiments.
The attendees of the course typically represent a mix of
academic and industrial scientists. We estimate the
attendees are about 40% academic, 30% industrial, 15%
facility and 15% graduate students. The context of the
course changes each year to reflect changes in fluorescence
technology. There are now lectures on single molecule
detection, FCS, multi-photon and confocal microscopy.
Lectures on basic phenomena and time-resolved fluorescence
are presented by Dr. Lakowicz. The advanced topics are
presented by outside lectures selected for their expertise
and teaching abilities.
From 1992 up to 2003 the CFS course was taught exclusively
in the USA. We received numerous requests to teach the
course in Europe. From 2003 PicoQuant GmbH offered to host the course
in Berlin.

Books and Journals
Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Third Edition,
J. R. Lakowicz
The third edition of the
established classic text reference, Principles of
Fluorescence Spectroscopy, will enhance upon the earlier
editions' successes. Organized as a textbook for the student
or the researcher needing to acquire the core competencies,
Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Third Edition, will
maintain the emphasis on basics, while updating the examples
to include recent results from the literature. The third
edition also includes new chapters on single molecule
detection, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, novel
probes, and radiative decay engineering. This full-color
textbook features the following:
-
Problem
sets following every chapter
-
Glossaries
of commonly used acronyms and mathematical symbols
-
Appendices
containing a list of recommended books that expand on
various specialized topics
-
Sections
describing advanced topics will indicate as such, to allow
these sections to be skipped in an introductory course,
allowing the text to be used for classes of different
levels
-
Includes
CD-ROM of all figures in a low-res format, perfect for use
in instruction and presentations
Principles of
Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Third Edition, is an essential
volume for students, researchers, and industry professionals
in biophysics, biochemistry, biotechnology, bioengineering,
biology, and medicine.

The
following journals and books are of interest to the
fluorescence community
The Journal of Fluorescence
The Journal of Fluorescence (JoF) captures the new and
emerging trends in fluorescence spectroscopy and its
applications. Today, the JoF is the major repository for
fluorescence-based material in the world. During the last
years the JoF has undertaken many changes, mostly in-line
with the global changes occurring in electronic
peer-reviewed publishing.

Plasmonics
Plasmonics is an international forum for the
publication of peer-reviewed leading-edge original articles
that both advance and reports on free-metal electrons,
plasmons. Topics covered include notable advances in the
theory, physics, and applications of surface plasmons in
metals, to the rapidly emerging areas of nanotechnology,
biophotonics, sensing, biochemistry and medicine. Topics
include the theory, synthesis and optical properties of
noble metal nanostructures, patterned surfaces or materials,
continuous or grated surfaces, devices, or wires for their
applications.

Topics
in Fluorescence Spectroscopy Series
This book
series describes current trends and emerging topics in
fluorescence spectroscopy. Most notably, a volume entitled
“Radiative Decay Engineering”, which is directly related to
current CFS scientific interests. To date 10 books have
been published in this edited volume series with
contributions from many authors from around the world. The
latest volume, Volume 11, “Glucose Sensing”, was recently
published.

Annual Reviews in Fluorescence
The Reviews
in Fluorescence (RIF) serve as comprehensive collections of
trends and emerging hot topics in the field of Fluorescence.
The volumes summarize the year’s progress with authoritative
analytical reviews, specialized enough to be attractive to
professional researchers, yet also appealing to the wider
audience of scientists in related disciplines of
fluorescence. The volumes allow detailed lengthy review
articles, not practical to be published in journals.

Who’s Who in Fluorescence Annual Volume
The Who’s Who in Fluorescence (WWIF) serves as a
comprehensive archive of fluorescence workers interests,
contact details and specialty keywords. Entry into the
volume is restricted and is dependent on academic
achievements, such as publications etc, in the research
areas of fluorescence and biomedical sensing. To date 4
paper-back yearly volumes have been published (2003-6). The
2006 volume features some 366 entries, from no fewer than 36
countries.
